Tortured eyes...I can't see <br />as my soul burns in a flame <br />of cold misery <br />darkness in a land <br />that you can't tame <br />who am I to blame <br />for not feeling the same <br /> <br />Look at my life through a mirror <br />I see a lonely face <br />so full of disgrace <br />but that's not me <br />in my reflection <br />he's grown so colder <br />filling his heart with hate <br />at the images <br />of what it use to be <br /> <br />Things are so much clearer <br />touch me..I feel no affection <br />as this pain gets nearer <br />to the edge of insanity <br /> <br />I use to be the man <br />able to stand tall <br />and make a stand <br />like the hero in the night <br />would'nt give in without a fight <br /> <br />Now these walls are closing in <br />coming down all around me <br />my mind can't break free <br />from this world full of madness <br />oh, should I live in shame <br />to take away my sadness <br /> <br />Like lightning <br />thunder rolls across the sky <br />my heart pumps blood <br />so full of anger <br />that runs through my veins <br />like a wild child of genocide <br />think it's too late <br />to save me from what's inside <br /> <br />I wake from this dream <br />as I try to scream <br />while I stood there to watch <br />it all fall before me <br />with a demon of suicide <br />just laugh and take my pride <br />here on the edge of insanity <br /> <br />Now strapped... <br />and tied to chains <br />my soul is trapped <br />like a animal in a cage <br />thought filled with rage <br />trying to escape reality <br />and all that's decieving <br />on the edge of insanity <br /> (spiritwind-1991)<br /><br />Spiritwind Wood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/edge-of-insanity/
